Mr Lamont: Mr Kaine, you have almost a new Alliance over there, now.

Mr Humphries: It matches the one over there.

Mr Moore: The difference is that I have actually changed my position.

Mr De Domenico: You change your opinion constantly; that is right.

Mr Moore: That is how it is in an Independent.

Mr De Domenico: More changes than the Melbourne weather, I tell you.

Mr Moore: The very thing that you are asking for. It just does not always go your way, Tony.

Mr De Domenico: No; you cannot be trusted, mate.

Mr Moore: That upsets you, doesn't it?

Mr De Domenico: You have no principles; that is your problem.

Mr Lamont: Madam Speaker, once again, I rise on a point of order. Two comments have been made by Mr De Domenico - the same as he did yesterday, the same as you ruled this morning that he withdraw. He has substantially impugned the integrity of Mr Moore.

Mr Cornwell: Let Mr Moore speak for himself, then.

Mr Lamont: No, I regard it as incumbent upon anybody in this house to raise such matters. Madam Speaker, I ask you to require Mr De Domenico to withdraw.

MADAM SPEAKER: Standing order 52 allows you to make those sorts of comments. Is it under standing order 54 or 57, Mr Lamont? Let me just check that. Mr Lamont, I am sure you are correct; but, given that I was paying no attention, I will examine the Hansard and come back to that and probably uphold your point of order. I will see when I have examined the Hansard.

Question put:
